Re: Diarrhea/ How Many CP1's ?

[Guest guest]

Just wanted to say thanks for that info on Zinc. Really interesting about the

zinc/glutamate connection.

With Andy, I believe it's 1mg per pound of weight + 20mg divided into two or

more doses a day

lentil, brown in short any type of bean) unless they are soaked (over 10 hours

to be sure), fermented or germinated will chelate with the zinc and decrease

bioavailability. Milk will do the same but how much zinc is chelated depends on

the origin of the milk. In descending order cow's milk chelates the most, then

goat's, camel's, sheep's with human milk the least problematic.

(ulcers in gut) and lately I have learned that zinc is important also for

dampening down the the glutamates (excitatory neurotransmitters) . This may well

explain why it is useful in decreasing hyperactivity.  Glutamates are abundant

all over the body particularly in the gut.

zinc to one pound child but I can't be 100% sure. He has an idea on what is best

absorbed but I don't remember which one.
